Hi, I just put some seeds outside to germ in some 1/3 poting mix, 1/3 peat, 1/3 perlite. I like this mix very well it seems to be very good for roots and i have seen others get results w/ it. only problem is is that outside now during the day it gets up to atleast mid 70's and the humidity is very low, low 20%. Basicly the soil drys up VERY quickly, i water them in the morning at 7 and the top of the soil is almost bone dry by 2 oclock.
my question is- does anyone know a similar mix of soil that would retain water well? I like the potting mix and peat combo i am using, do you think doing the same mix except substituting the perlite for vermiculite would suit my needs?
